Welcome to the joint library of the Monterey Bay Aquarium
Research Institute (MBARI) and Moss Landing Marine Labs (MLML). The MBARI/MLML Library's collections and
services provide support for the staff and students of both institutions.

The MBARI Library was founded in 1996 as a private, non-profit library,
and in 1999 merged with the MLML Library. This private-public partnership provides
opportunities for collaboration and information synergy in the study of
marine science and engineering.

The library also supports a private Engineering Reference Center at the
MBARI campus with collections in scientific instrumentation, and mechanical, electrical
and software engineering.

The combined collection includes 15,000 monographs, 120 print journals, and
200 electronic journals. We are a member of the
International Association of Aquatic and Marine Science Library and
Information Centers, IAMSLIC.
